Summary
Happy Monday! Holy cow there’s only ten days until the World Cup. With that in mind, we have another World Cup heavy show today. The U.S. Men’s National Team started their pre-tournament friendlies with a 3-2 win over Senegal, complete with a fantastic performance from Christian Pulisic. How do we feel after this match and are we any more confident in Mauricio Pochettino's squad? Also, with hydration breaks mandatory in this World Cup, will more teams treat them like a “basketball timeout” like Poch did in the Senegal match? Is that even allowed? Do we want mid-half tactical conversations? We then check in on some of the more unique watch parties going down for the World Cup, including a floating shindig in Seattle. Finally, we set the World Cup aside. Soccer Under Construction takes us to Dallas where Atletico Dallas has plans for the Cotton Bowl to make the seating capacity more realistic and we dig into MLS’s ratings on AppleTV. https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi!
